Rock Band is one of the funnest games ever to play with 3 of your good friends. It combines the awsomeness of Guitar Hero with Drums, and Vocals to create a truly unique experience. The Gameplay in Rock Band is centered around the 3 music peripherals you recieve when you purchase the game. The drums, the guitar, and the microphone. For seasoned GH players the guitar is going to feel VERY easy, and I mean VERY easy. I 5 starred every expert in one playthrough except the very last one. The drums are the most fun and most addicting as its something new and fun. The drumming is user friendly and it you see and feel an improvement as you continue playing. The vocals are basically just like any karioke game and they are fun if you have a little sister or something but I havent bothered with them yet. The graphics are pleasing to the eye thought not spectacular. The soundtrack for rock band feautures liess hard rock and metal and settles for more alternative and new stuff. Rock Band is way to expensive for anybody who lives bythemselves because it is marketed as a party game. Band world tour mode is fun but the fact that u have to be with a partner makes it frustrating for a good amount of people. Overall Rock band is an awsome rhythym game but the fact that a partner is needed for almost any lasting fun in the game brings rock band down.
